Four primary models for building and running apps

COMPUTE

APP SERVICES

DATA SERVICES

ADD-ONSNETWORK SERVICES

Deliver millions of cross-platform push notifications within minutes from any application backend, on-premises or in the cloud.

Notification Hubs

Use this messaging channel for connecting your cloud applications to your on-premises applications, services, and systems.

Service Bus

Build workflows to create, manage, and distribute on-demand media and live streaming events.

Media Services

Build EDI services and Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) solutions in the cloud.

BizTalkServices

Use this cloud service to provide an identity and access management solution: directory services, identity governance, security, and application access management.

Active Directory

Find, access, and manage services and data sets, directly from the Management Portal.

Store

Get full control over a server in the cloud, and maintain it as your business requires.

Virtual Machines

Get started with web apps for free. Scale as you go. Build using a range of tools and languages.

Web Sites

Add backend capabilities to mobile apps, with native client support on most device platforms.

Mobile Services

Create and easily scale Internet-facing web roles and worker roles that perform background tasks. All roles can access data stores and other services.

CloudServices

Manage data more securely using a range of storage options. Accessible via REST APIs. Blob storage provides up to 100 terabytes per account.

Storage

Manage relational data with built-in high availability. Configure, monitor, and recover backups locally or to Windows Azure storage.

SQL Database

Transfer large amounts of file data smoothly into blob storage. Use the Management Portal or send hard disks to a Windows Azure datacenter.

Import ExportData

Provision and integrate big data easily with tools including Microsoft Office and System Center. Based on Apache Hadoop.

HDInsight

Synchronize data regularly or on-demand between instances of SQL Database and instances of either SQL Server and/or SQL Database.

SQL Data Sync

Protect important services by coordinating the replication and recovery of System Center 2012 private clouds at a secondary location.

Hyper-V Recovery Manager

Schedule backups of your local server data to Windows Azure using PowerShell cmdlets.

Backup Agent

Make your applications scale and be more responsive under load by keeping data closer to application logic.

Cache

Create jobs that call services in and outside of Windows Azure, and specify when and how often those jobs run.

Scheduler

Increase performance by caching blobs and static content of compute instances at physical nodes globally.

CDN

Implement with Active Directory to safeguard access to data and applications while employing a simple sign-in process.

Multi-Factor Authentication

Load-balance incoming global traffic across multiple services running in the same or different datacenters.

Traffic Manager

Provision and manage VPNs in Windows Azure and securely link to your on-premises IT infrastructure.

Virtual Network

Media Services

INGESTIONON DEMANDSTREAMINGENCODING LIVE STREAMING

Media Services provide a selection of services for storing, encoding andstreaming media such as videos and music. Upload yourhigh-resolution source content and convert it to multiple bit ratesfor playback on a variety of devices. Scale easily to deliver to audiences of all sizes.

VIRTUALMACHINES

VMs are basic cloud building blocks. Get full control over a virtual machine with virtual hard disks. Install and run software yourself. Configure multiple machines with different roles to create complex solutions. VMs are nearly identical to conventional (real) servers, and are the easiest way to move existing workloads to the cloud.

STORAGE SOLUTIONS

Easily access and manage these general-purpose VMs . We maintain and update each VM as needed with system updates. You configure the VM size as needed, and scale out as many copies as needed. Two types of VMs: worker roles and web roles—worker roles are made for computing and running services. The web role is simply a worker role with IIS already installed and configured.

Windows Azure is an open and flexible cloud platform that enables you to quickly build, deploy, and manage applications across a global network of Microsoft-managed datacenters.

You can build applications using any language, tool, or framework. And youcan integrate your public cloud applications with your existing IT environment.

Custom API

Mobile Services allows you to quickly implement data and authentication capabilities. With Mobile Services, easily create a common web API to store data and execute business logic. Apps on any device call the API, and users are authenticated by third party providers. Apps can also receive notifications when events occur. Worry less about data and authentication, and focus on your service.

Use these for pure web apps. The underlying system software is hidden from you and managed for you. Focus only on your web code. First, choose a web technology from the gallery, then develop with your framework, and finally deploy from your source control. Use the data platform of your choice. Develop 1 site or 500. Scale can be automated—by schedule, usage, or by a quota trigger.
